Gemini’s influence will continue to sweep over all mankind. Though the sun resides in Taurus, there are five bodies in the sign of negotiation. Warring factions and angry spouses may be able to establish peace. In legal matters, everything from plea bargains to conciliatory offers will benefit both parties. Rules will be bent wherever you look.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
. Forget sticking to a plan. Do what you’ve wanted to do for weeks. An exciting romantic cycle might begin with one sizzling glance. Outline personal health and fitness goals. Wouldn’t you love to achieve them with confidence? Go for it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
. You need encouragement. Don’t expect others to give it to you; provide yourself with it. Look around; there are symbols of your prosperity everywhere. Couples could struggle for the leadership position. Compromise instead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
. At work, ask someone to put in a little more effort, but be careful not to be abrasive. Your biggest success of the day may come from knowing when to stop. Combine romance and adventure in a day trip or an extended vacation overseas.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll meet your expectations this afternoon. Being recognized for your hard work makes you feel like a million bucks, so don’t forget to celebrate. Your sweetie needs your commitment, but you are still resisting. It’s safe to trust him or her.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
. You have the opportunity to do extra work for money. Plan for the future. With higher-ups being so stubborn, don’t be too eager to impress them. Your time to shine will come eventually. Everyone has a story – listen with open ears this evening.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12)
. This will be a stellar year. The universe may shake things up, forcing you to use your creativity in a way you never thought possible. Snatch opportunities for gaining enormous knowledge. Financial issues may be resolved in your favor by July, so treat yourself to something special. Forget about money. If you are doing anything worthwhile, it will take care of itself. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 11, 14, 25 and 36.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
. Financial progress may be slow to come, but results will be solid and lasting. Research how people live in other parts of the world. You deserve to be around people who have a fresh view and an open mind. Children will make you laugh.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
. In love, hold back some surprises. Singles may make golden connections this evening. It’s lucky to communicate through music – a special song can express everything you feel. Money might be available where it wasn’t before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
. You and your new romantic partner will find common interests over dinner tonight. Friends will make incorrect assumptions, so set the record straight. What you do in the name of charity could make you rich and famous unexpectedly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your body is as strong and flexible as your mind. Keep challenging yourself through education. No one can truly afford to be sick, so make sure you prevent sickness before it attacks you. An Aries is out to fulfill your fantasies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
. You’ll have luck through politics, school activities or starting your own business. Sagittarians and Virgos can help you financially. In love, a Pisces is your best match. Scandals may be brought to light, and love will become an adventure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
. Those who treat relationships as a science are less likely to become wrapped up in passionate outbursts, whether they be positive or negative. A loved one is finally willing to be friends with you again. Socialize at work this afternoon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Write things down, and double-check new information. Be thorough about all your plans. Most of all, try not to be quick to blame things on people if you don’t have proof. Relatives will reach a compromise. Avoid being emotionally unstable.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"I was born on Dec. 20, 1976. I’m very concerned about succeeding in both love and my career. What is going on? Will I find either one soon?"

Capricorns want to know about their careers, sometimes before everything else because security is so important to them. You are an interesting mix of creativity and solid practicality. What do you like to do? Capricorns tend to enjoy working alone. You dislike being judged against others. Choose a field where you can self-start your career. You might want to consider working for a company that values innovation. Service industries are good because you have the maturity to take on and follow through important projects. You are not just a nine-to-five person; you think about your job on weekends. That said, target industries that deal with life-and-death situations: health, security and personal safety. In love, I believe that your next big romance will be with someone you meet through work and who is in some way a mentor to you. Capricorns love to learn, and the combination of being with someone attractive and whom you completely admire is unbeatable. Good luck in these two areas!

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Amy Heckerling is one of very few female directors on the Hollywood A-list. With hits spanning decades from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" to "Clueless" and "Loser," she shows how Taurus’ tenacity can overcome impossible odds to get a project done. She and other Taureans born in ’54 should be on the lookout in the next three weeks for outstanding bargains on big-ticket items – like a car for half the market price!
